Book Description
Dust and gas in protoplanetary disks are the building blocks of planets. In this thesis, we study the dynamics of the gas and dust, which are crucial for the planet formation theory, using observational and numerical approaches. The observational part contains the case study of a rare circumtriple disk around the GW Ori hierarchical triple system. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of 1.3 mm dust continuum and 12CO J = 2-1 molecular gas emission of the disk. For the first time, we identify three dust rings in the GW Ori disk at ~46, 188, and 338 au, with the outermost ring being the largest dust ring ever found in protoplanetary disks. We use visibility modeling of the dust continuum and kinematics modeling of CO lines to show that the disk has misaligned parts, and the innermost dust ring is eccentric. We interpret these substructures as evidence of ongoing dynamical interactions between the triple stars and the circumtriple disk. In the numerical part, we study whether or not dust around gas gaps opened by planets can remain settled by performing three-dimensional, dust-plus-gas simulations of protoplanetary disks with an embedded planet. We find planets that open gas gaps 'puff up' small, sub-mm-sized grains at the gap edges, where the dust scale-height can reach 80% of the gas scale-height. We attribute this dust 'puff-up' to the planet-induced meridional gas flows previously identified by Fung and Chiang. We thus emphasize the importance of explicit 3D simulations to obtain the vertical distribution of sub-mm-sized grains around planet gaps. We caution that the gas-gap-opening planet interpretation of well-defined dust rings is only self-consistent with large grains exceeding mm in size.

Book Description
In this thesis I present my research on the early stages of planet formation. Using advanced computational modeling techniques, I study global gas and gravitational dynamics in proto- planetary disks (PPDs) on length scales from the radius of Jupiter to the size of the solar system. In that environment, I investigate the formation of gas giants and the migration, enhancement, and distribution of small solids—the precursors to planetesimals and gas giant cores. I examine numerical techniques used in planet formation and PPD modeling, especially methods for generating initial conditions (ICs) in these unstable, chaotic systems. Disk simulation outcomes may depend strongly on ICs, which may explain results in the literature. I present the largest suite of high resolution PPD simulations to-date and argue that direct fragmentations of PPDs around M-Dwarfs is a plausible path to rapidly forming gas giants. I implement dust physics to track the migration of centimeter and smaller dust grains in very high resolution PPD simulations. While current dust methods are slow, with strict resolution and/or time-stepping requirements, and have some serious numerical issues, we can still demonstrate that dust does not concentrate at the pressure maxima of spiral arms, an indication that spiral features observed in the dust component are at least as well resolved in the gas. Additionally, coherent spiral arms do not limit dust settling. We suggest a novel mechanism for disk fragmentation at large radii driven by dust accretion from the surrounding nebula. We also investigate self induced dust traps, a mechanism which may help explain the growth of solids beyond meter sizes. We argue that current apparent demonstrations of this mechanism may be due to numerical artifacts and require further investigation.
